Hi Quilty Ladies,
I have to share this info with everyone who made a jelly roll quilt or anyone thinking about it. We discovered at Spring Retreat that the jelly rolls with pinked edges make a mess - lots of little threads on clothes and floor and dust in sewing machines. Had this light bulb moment... Before I unrolled my jelly roll I vacuumed the pinked sides. I used the small furniture attachment to the vacuum and lowered the suction. I held the jelly roll in my hand and vacuumed lightly over the sides. What a difference when I unrolled the jelly roll.. I don't know if this will help anyone else but it is the first time I didn't mind using my vacuum. Is there a special vacumm just for quilters??? Lol

Holy Jelly Roll! What a great idea! Thanks for the tip, APP :-)
What a clever idea! I'm sure that one little extra step will save many sewing machines too! All that fabric dust makes such a mess inside the machine!

I bet a dust buster would work also...
probably not but if they make one they will charge 3x the price they should because it is for quilting!! lol
